The Lifestyle Wanderer

For Filipinos, the Christmas season officially starts the minute the clock strikes midnight on September 1, a tradition unique to our country and known to be the longest in the world. While the festivities may be a bit different and toned down this year, that doesn’t mean we should let go of the happiness tied to our favorite holiday.

The moment we've all been waiting for has finally arrived! The renowned coffee chain has unveiled the designs for the 2021 Starbucks Planners and Organizers! Yes, you got it right. We'll be treated with both planners and organizers which can serve as our fresh canvas to chronicle our dreams, hopes, and whims, as we Carry The Merry into a brighter year ahead. 💚

The annual Starbucks Christmas Tradition sparks joy with the 2021 Planners and Organizers

This holiday season, Starbucks brings to life the stories behind its brand through the 2021 Starbucks Planners and Organizers by highlighting four (4) Philippine-exclusive designs. Through the pages of the newly-launched planners and organizers, people (like me and you) who have evolved with the brand are given an ode, that we may find a deeper connection with the Starbucks Experience.

The brand made sure to have a planner and organizer design for all of us. Without further ado, here is this year's 2021 Starbucks Planners and Organizers!

Starbucks Siren (Green) Planner

Starbucks Siren Planner

Also known as the OG Starbucks branding, Starbucks shares its tradition of coffee-making mastery through its iconic Siren. It paints a picture of its wonderful journey in delivering the best-tasting coffee, from the sourcing of the beans to the serving in one’s cup. The 2021 Starbucks Philippines Planner in the brand’s signature green color comes in a hardbound recycled PU (synthetic) leather cover, with meticulous details of the mythical Siren debossed on its front cover.

Starbucks Teavana™ Youthberry (Yellow) Planner

Starbucks Teavana™ Youthberry Planner

Perfect for those who love the Starbucks Teavana™ offerings, this fun, yellow planner was inspired by the traditions from many cultures, as well as a fun, modern, Western spin on tea-drinking, with the aim of giving zest to people’s vibrant and joyful passions. Bringing more colors to people’s lives, the 2021 Starbucks Teavana™ Youthberry Planner features intrinsic details of the Siren Tail in gold, embossed on its recycled PU leather cover.

As the brand introduces this year’s much-awaited planners, Starbucks stays true to its commitment to supporting sustainable movements. The pages of the Starbucks Siren and Starbucks Teavana™ Youthberry Planners are produced with eco-friendly paper in a facility certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) — an independent, non-profit organization to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.

Starbucks Frappuccino® Coral Pink Organizer 

(with multifunctional carrier)

If there’s any beverage that gets people creative in expressing their truest selves, it would have to be the Frappuccino. This delicious and creamy blend fuses multiple indulgent flavors that make the best sip of the season.

Starbucks Frappuccino Coral Pink Organizer

The Starbucks Frappuccino® Organizer in coral pink pops in a posh and youthful color with a sleek multifunctional carrier laced by a premium rose gold Starbucks logo zipper pull. It consists of several built-in pockets where people can conveniently place their IDs, credit cards, Starbucks Cards, and even hand sanitizers, enabling them to house their essentials as they deliver on their state of play.

Starbucks Reserve® Black Organizer 

(with multifunctional carrier)

Exquisite coffees are the heart and soul of Starbucks Reserve®. Through rare coffees and a plethora of beverage platforms, Starbucks underscores its commitment to pursuing great craftsmanship and innovation when it comes to coffee-making. 

Starbucks Reserve Black Organizer

The 2021 Starbucks Reserve® Black Organizer is grounded on the first-rate quality of its premium coffee lineup. It dawns on a classic black color that exudes a minimalistic yet elevated feel for Starbucks customers. Take it with you as your lifestyle companion that houses your essential items.

The team behind this year's planners and organizers decided to add more blank pages to them so people who love to journal, write, or draw can satisfy the creative junkie in them. To complement all the unique features of the 2021 Starbucks Planners and Organizers, each choice provides a bookmark, a set of fun and colorful stickers, along with tear-off vouchers that people can use throughout the year as they spend it with Starbucks.

How to avail of the 2021 Starbucks Planners and Organizers?

All you need to do is to collect a total of 18 stickers using either the paper promo card or the e-promo card in Starbucks Philippines Mobile app. The same rule applies, one (1) sticker is awarded for any purchase of a Tall, Grande, or Venti Starbucks® handcrafted beverage in-stores. The collection of stickers will start from November 3, 2020 to January 4, 2021 in all Starbucks stores nationwide. 

Which planner or organizer are you getting?


Starbucks also launched its Mobile Order & Pay feature where customers can place beverage orders using the Starbucks app or mobile device and claim them safely in-stores. I had this wishful thinking when they launched their new Starbucks program last July and now it's finally here! 😍

I'm most definitely getting the organizers for this year, though I'm torn on which design to get – the Frappuccino or the Starbucks Reserve. They both come with a nice-looking multifunctional carrier which is why I'm so torn. lol Help me decide? :)

 

But wait there's more!  

Commemorative 23rd Anniversary Journal and Card Gift Set

Starbucks Philippines 23rd Anniversary Collection
Because Starbucks Philippines is turning 23 this December, they are bringing a commemorative 23rd Anniversary Journal and Card Gift Set inspired by the iconic Siren. Priced at ₱2,700, the whimsical gift bundle is inclusive of a journal, a leather clutch, plus a Starbucks Card with an initial activation amount of ₱1,000. In the many years I've been following this coffee chain, this is the first time that I heard them throwing in a journal and card in one gift set. To be honest with you, I'm eager to get my hands on this collectible! ✨

The quarantine made me miss Starbucks so much. After hearing that the Starbucks planners and organizers are already in-store, I suddenly got reminded how much I loved the holidays and how Starbucks has been a part of it year on year. I can't wait for November 3 to start collecting stickers while enjoying the Peppermint Mocha! ☕️

Want to see the inside pages of this year's Starbucks Planners and Organizers, make sure to stay tuned to this page! Who knows I might hold a planner giveaway soon? 😏

In the true essence of Christmas, LG Philippines joined in the fun and combined our love for the holidays with the brand’s mission of always giving back to the community. Here are some of the initiatives they have lined up this season.

Because Shelter of Hope is currently building a new home for their resident children who are cancer patients, LG Philippines has dedicated a portion of each sale of an LG product to go towards its furnishing. More than that, the brand has also committed to donate home entertainment and home appliances worth more than Php 1Million. During the media launch, LG, Netflix, and the members of the media, in the spirit of Klaus, also brought gifts and toys to give to the children of Shelter of Hope.
 

Netflix and Animation Council of the Philippines, Inc. (ACPI)

Klaus, Netflix’s headliner this holiday season
Who else here loves binge watching Christmas movies during the yuletide season? This year, Klaus headlines Netflix’s holiday lineup that harkens to the old Christmas shows we know and love. Legendary actor J. K. Simmons provides the voice for the titular Klaus, a reclusive carpenter whom Jesper discovers living alone in a cabin, where he makes his own handmade toys.

The trailer for the destined Christmas classic, together with its behind the scenes footage, were all screened with the use of LG’s award-winning OLED TVs, the purchase of which comes with an accompanying gift of 6 months of Netflix.

LG also invited the Animation Council of the Philippines, Inc. (ACPI) to share their thoughts on the use of 2D animation in Klaus, how LG OLED TVs are the best platform to view it on, as well as to discuss the state of the local animation industry as a whole.

As an early Christmas present for the organization, LG Philippines donated LG TV. Inkwun Heo, LG Philippines’ Managing Director, recognized the importance of the ACPI’s role in the local industry and how their influence shapes the evolution of picture quality. “We want content creators such as ACPI to have access to our latest technology so that they can pay it forward and share it with the community through their art.”

Marlyn Montano, Vice President of the ACPI, graciously accepted the TV donation from LG. “Working in the animation industry, innovations in technology are important to us. To be able to compete with other animators from around the world, we need to be at the top. LG’s AI-optimized picture quality that boasts leading clarity, sharpness, detail and brightness is as advanced as you can get. This really helps us in harnessing the best of our abilities.”

Merry Christmas y'all and may today and the rest of the holidays bring you all love and joy! 💕Follow LG Philippines’ social media accounts at @lgphilippines for updates and promo announcements.
